Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi

Rakhi is one of the most important festivals in India, celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor by people of all ages and religions. The festival celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, and is marked by the tying of a rakhi on the brother's wrist by his sister. However, in recent times, the festival has also come to include the relationship between bhaiya and bhabhi, or elder brother and sister-in-law. Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi sets are specially designed to celebrate the bond between a brother and his sister-in-law, and they come with a pair of Rakhis for both of them.

The relationship between bhaiya and bhabhi is a special one, based on mutual respect, love, and understanding. Bhaiya is not just a brother, but also a friend, guide, and protector to his bhabhi. Bhabhi, on the other hand, is not just a sister-in-law, but also a confidant, advisor, and caretaker to her bhaiya.

On the occasion of Rakhi, bhabhis tie rakhis on their bhaiya's wrist, as a symbol of their love and respect for them. This gesture signifies the special bond between them, and the promise of protection and support that bhaiya gives to his bhabhi. In return, bhaiya gives gifts to his bhabhi, as a token of his love and appreciation for her.

The relationship between bhaiya and bhabhi is a unique one, as it is not bound by blood, but by love and respect. Bhaiya is not just a brother, but also a son to his bhabhi's parents, and a husband to his bhabhi. Bhabhi, on the other hand, is not just a sister-in-law, but also a daughter to her bhaiya's parents, and a wife to her bhaiya.

The relationship between bhaiya and bhabhi is also important in Indian culture, as it plays a vital role in maintaining the family's social structure. Bhaiya is the head of the family, and his bhabhi is responsible for taking care of the household and looking after the family's needs. Together, they form a strong support system for their family, and work towards its well-being and prosperity.

On the occasion of Rakhi, bhaiya and bhabhi exchange gifts and sweets, and spend time with each other, reminiscing about old memories and making new ones. They also reaffirm their commitment to each other, and promise to support and protect each other, no matter what.

In conclusion, the relationship between bhaiya and bhabhi is a special one, based on love, respect, and understanding. On the occasion of Rakhi, this bond is celebrated and strengthened, as bhabhis tie rakhis on their bhaiya's wrist, and bhaiyas give gifts to their bhabhis. This festival is a reminder of the importance of family, and the vital role that bhaiya and bhabhi play in maintaining it.

Aarav Rakhi offers a beautiful collection of Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi. Our Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi sets are specially designed to celebrate the bond between a brother and his sister-in-law, and they come with a pair of Rakhis for both of them. So, whether you are near or far, surprise your bhaiya and bhabhi with our beautiful Rakhis and make this Raksha Bandhan a memorable one.

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that marks the relationship between brothers and sisters that is celebrated in the month of Shravan as per the Hindu calendar. Read about Raksha Bandhan in India in 2022 and its rituals in the blog. 

[sal2724]

RAKSHA BANDHAN

India is known as country of festivals. Raksha bandhan is also a very important festival celebrated in India. It is a festival to celebrate the bond between siblings. Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in India in the month of Shravan, also called Sawan, which generally falls on July or August. This year, we will be celebrating Raksha Bandhan on August 2.

In Sanskrit, Raksha Bandhan simply means ‘the bond of protection, obligation, or care’ and thus it signifies the bond between a sister and her brother. To celebrate this bond, a simple ceremony is performed when a sister ties Rakhi on the wrist of her brother as he promises to protect her from all the troubles. Both sisters and brothers then treat each other with gifts and surprises and share affection with each other.

Importance

Raksha Bandhan is not just a festival celebrated as a custom. Rather, this festival is a day to build new relationships with emotions. On this day, sisters not only tie Rakhi to brothers but they also tie Rakhi to those whom they wish to protect. Like in India, there are women in different places who send Rakhi to the heroes (soldiers) of the country and pray for their long life.

HISTORY

There are many mythological stories behind the festival of Raksha Bandhan. One of the most famous stories is from ‘Mahabharata’. It is said that once Lord Krishna was flying kite with Pandavas, Draupadi and Subhadra. Lord Krishna met with a deep cut with Kite’s threat and the wound started bleeding. Draupadi rushed to lord Krishna and tied a piece of cloth on his finger to avoid bleeding. To see the gesture of Draupadi, Lord Krishna promised her that he will always protect her from all the difficulties likewise.

Apart from Hindu mythology, Chittor’s queen Karnavati and Agra’s emperor Humayun's Raksha Bandhan story is highly admirable. It has been said that Raani Karnavati was a widowed queen of Chittor, Rajasthan. Once, she was attacked by the Afghan Sultan from Gujarat. She knew that it won’t be easy for her to win the battle, so she sent a Rakhi to the Mughal emperor. After receiving Rakhi, Humayun went emotional and sent his troops to protect Chittor. This incident added feathers to the festival's significance and also released it from the religious barriers.

Raksha Bandhan Legends

The festival of Raksha Bandhan is mainly celebrated for protection. There are various stories and legends in Hindu Mythology as well as in history, where Gods have tied the rakhi to protect their loved ones for their protection. Here are the stories:

Indra Indrani: This legend tells us that Rakhi is a sacred thread of protection and it cannot only be tied to the brothers for protection, but also to the ones we love. The story of Indra and Indrani takes place in the Vedic period when a battle of the gods and demons took place. Indrani, the companion of Indra, tied a sacred thread on the wrist of her husband for protection against the evil demons.

Krishna and Draupadi: In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna had hurt his finger when he had sent his Sudarshan Chakra from his finger to behead Shishupala. Draupadi then bandaged his finger with a piece of cloth from her saree. Lord Krishna who was moved by her deed promised to protect her from all odds.

Yama Yamuna: In this story, Yama tied a sacred thread on the wrist of her brother Yamuna to protect him from the curse of dead and mutilation from his stepmother, Chhaya. He told his mother that he knew of her secret to which she got furious and gave this curse to him, which was lifted because of the thread.

King Bali and Goddess Laxmi: Goddess Laxmi disguised herself as a Brahmin woman and tied a rakhi to King Bali on the day of Shravan Purnima. She then revealed herself and asked the king to free his companion, Lord Vishnu and let him return to Vaikunth.

Santoshi Maa and Lord Ganesha: This legend is considered to be the reason behind the celebration of Raksha Bandhan. Lord Ganesha had two sons who asked him to bring a sister who would tie rakhi to them. Ganesha then created Santoshi Maa who tied rakhi to his sons.

How do we celebrate Rakhi?

Before raksha bandhan also known as “rakhi”, sisters brings Rakhi for their brother. Rakhi is typically a band which can be tied on wrist. While brother brings their sister a gift. On the day of rakhi, sister first do the Pooja after getting ready and then apply roli and chawal on forehead of her brother and then tie rakhi and in exchange brother promise her to always protect her and gives her a gift.

Dearest Ann,

I’m writing this letter to you after shedding a few tears because today I hurt the person I love the most. I think for a very long time I have been so caught up with everything I don’t have and everything I used to be and everything that will happen to others and not me that I missed being happy and grateful about the blessings I am showered with daily. I wrote a lot of gratitude lists but I guess that doesn’t help one be truly grateful after all. How does this relate to you or this letter? Well, after the kind of day I have had today, I really didn’t feel like writing any love letters. But I went through the answers I had gotten and reading yours gave me that feeling of comfort and joy in the little things that mean the most and they made my heart a little lighter so here I am writing to you right now. Thank you.

When did you start writing a journal? I used to write in disgustingly cute diaries since I was a very young child but I 100% got into it in 8th grade. I still remember the first journal I bought that I actually wrote in every day and filled up all the pages of. It was sometime during August on the day of Raksha Bandhan. It’s a festival here where sisters tie a sacred thread to their brothers. In return, the brothers promise to protect them and give them a gift. Ignoring the sexist notions of it is easy when you have loving brothers (cousins) as I do and a sister who protects you. Anyway, that year they made sure to give me cash as a gift so I could buy whatever I wanted. And then after we were done with all the customs and rituals we went shopping in the evening. That’s when I bought that journal. I filled it up with all the sweet lies the boys I had crushes on then told me. I filled it up with all the words that made me cry. And all the lyrics that help me be sane. And all the poetry that gave me strength. Ever since then, my journaling habit was solid. Of course, once I entered college and grew up becoming busy and less lonely, I stopped journaling every day. But every time I find myself go into a bad place, I reach out to the only real best friend I have ever had – my journal.

What about you? And have you ever been curious to swap your journal with someone else? I used to read about it in books and see it in movies and I always found it so exhilarating. The idea of doing that gave me more of an adrenaline rush than any adventure sport like sky diving could. The thought of trusting someone with my most innate thoughts and feelings had to be the most courageous thing ever. I think the fear that no one will like me if they actually knew who I really am has been ever present. What about you? What does journaling mean to you? Either way, I do hope it provides you comfort and relief from this ever crazy world.

On a lighter note, Ann, I have been keeping this really tiny journal where I don’t really write as much as I jot down quotes and poetry and words that I come across that hit me. I also randomly illustrate and it’s half-filled now and every time I flip through it, it gives me such joy that I know makes life worth figuring out for. Shall I share something from it with you?

For you who said you eat a lot because you’re lonely For you who said you sleep a lot because you’re bored For you who said you cry a lot because you’re sad

I write to you. Chew your concerned feelings like rice. Because after all, your life is something you have to digest.

- Rice by Chun Yang Hee

It’s translated from Korean so suffice to say a lot of its flow is lost in translation but damn. It hit me. Every sentence from the first stanza made me cry. Whenever we do something irrational people think it’s because we’re crazy. No, you fools, it’s because we are hurting! That’s why we overeat. Oversleep. Cry all the time. But if we have poetry that gets us, souls (people and dogs) that love us unconditionally and wisdom to know that that’s all that truly matters, we will be okay. Right?

And you…you have the strength to do all of that because you have the strength to recognise love even when it’s not requited. So it comforts me to know that you will live a good life – that you already are. Coming home after work to your family and dogs who love you, collecting plushies (love) and journaling, Ann, you’re living a wholesome life and that makes me so happy. Today, I borrow some of that strength from you and promise the universe that I will actively focus more on the things that matter.

To a good life, Ann

Love, Nikki

PS I would love watching Detective Conan! I think that was one of the first anime shows that I fell in love with. The only episode I vividly remember is when he and his friends enter an apparently haunted house and end up finding a mother and son who live there in hiding because the son had killed his father. Do you remember that one?

PPS I highly recommend you to check the Netflix show ‘Anne with an E’. It’s about a smart, brave and fierce girl Anne. And even though you’re Ann without an E, I have a feeling that you’re just as brilliant.

Guys, February is 29 days of love letters. I’m writing love letters, as part of The Love Project, and if you’d like me to write one to you, drop me an email at creating.nikki@gmail.com

There are 7 more spots left, and you can still be a part of it if you’d like :D 

I wrote this letter for Ann based on some questions they answered. You can read the questions and their answers here.

IS RAKSHA BANDHAN FOR SISTERHOOD?

Earlier this week I was catching up with one of my Bhabis (sister in laws) who has recently had a baby. Just as we were leaving the restaurant she mentioned how she needed to pick up a gift for her older daughter to give to her younger daughter for ‘rakhri’ (Raksha Bandhan). It dawned on me in that moment how revolutionary but also how obvious her thinking was. 

“A man's tie with his sister is accounted very close. The two have grown up together, at an age when there is no distinction made between the sexes. And later, when the sister marries, the brother is seen as her main protector, for when her father has died to whom else can she turn if there is trouble in her conjugal household.

The parental home, and after the parents' death the brother's home, often offers the only possibility of temporary or longer-term support in case of divorce, desertion, and even widowhood, especially for a woman without adult sons. Her dependence on this support is directly related to economic and social vulnerability.”

— Bina Agarwal in A Field of One's Own: Gender and Land Rights in South Asia (1994), quoting Adrian C. Mayer, Caste and kinship in Central India (1960)

I’ve grown up with an older brother and male cousins who I would tie a ‘rakhri’ (thread) on every year and yes, look forward to presents/money from! The tradition comes from the brothers of a family protecting, caring for and looking after their sisters (and more recently, a convenient way to ‘friend zone’ guys!). 

But as girls, do we still need ‘protecting’? My bhabi explained how she had made a rule for younger siblings to tie rakhri on their older siblings, regardless of their gender. I thought it was a pretty neat idea but also immediately thought about how many more patriarchal traditions we have to reinvent or perhaps scrap as new generations evolve. 

Just like the pink ladoo when a girl child is born or our mothers ‘giving us away’ on our wedding, are we taking patriarchal traditions as a standard and trying to mould ourselves into them or are we truly making a feminist statement and changing the status quo?

Sonamhelps’ Beginners Guide to Hinduism and the Hindu Gods

‘Hinduism’ is really just an umbrella term under which many varied religious traditions and practices fall. In this guide I will give an introduction to the main gods and goddesses and summarise some general beliefs and terminology. I will also offer some useful tips for writing Hindu characters, and outline some stereotypes to avoid.

NOTE: This guide will be made objectively and will not be from the perspective of a particular branch of Hinduism. If you would like to know about my personal beliefs and the tradition I follow feel free to ask!

Firstly, some information about Hinduism:

Hindus worship in temples and each temple will be devoted to a different god, or group of related gods and goddesses. When visiting a temple you have to take your shoes off as a sign of respect because you are entering God’s house. The deities of the God will be in the temple room, and when entering Hindu’s bow down to the floor, again as a sign of respect and to pay obeisances.

In Hindu households you will often find pictures and murti’s (small statues) of gods and goddesses. Usually of the main god/gods the household worships and Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, for protection. Statues of the gods and goddesses are a point of focus for Hindus in their prayers.

Hindus acknowledge that God is fundamentally the One without a second. God is absolute, formless. This Supreme, Universal Soul is known as Brahman. Brahman is considered to be the universe and everything in it, and it has no form or limits. Please remember that Brahman is NOT a god, it is more like a divine, universal energy.

One perspective on the worship of the Hindu Gods is that they acknowledge that there is one God, but because God manifests himself in all these different forms to perform different roles, Hindus choose which form of God to worship. For example, families who desire more material wealth may worship Shiva, or families that want academic success may focus their worship on Saraswati. The main god or goddess worshipped by a family tends to be passed down patrilineally for generations.

‘Converting’ to the religion is not a requirement and there is no conversion ceremony as there is in other religions. Converting to Hinduism means embracing the religion and letting your actions, thoughts, way of life and philosophy reflect your belief. In most Hindu sects it is unusual to convert because the religion is considered something you have to be born into. However, there are many sects which welcome newcomers and people from all religions and backgrounds have joined them. The most well known of these are Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and transcendental meditation.

Hindus do not worship cows. Cows are respected, honoured and considered sacred. They are more a symbol of the Earth and prosperity because they give more than they take. They are seen as mothers because the cow always gives and feeds, representing life and the support of life.

The Hindu Trinity:

The Hindu Trinity, or Hindu Triumvirate, consists of Brahma (not to be confused with Brahman), Shiva and Vishnu. They have the biggest roles in the pantheon and are three of the most widely worshiped Hindu gods.

Brahma - the Creator - Brahma is known as ‘the Creator’ because he creates the universe and everything in it. Many Hindu’s believe that time is cyclical, so the universe is created, lasts for a certain amount of time, and is then destroyed. The universe lasts for one day of Brahma (4,320,000,000 years), after which it is destroyed and another universe is created by Brahma. - If you’re interested in learning about this I encourage you to look up Hindu cosmology, but it can be a difficult idea to get your head round.

Vishnu - the Preserver - Vishnu is known as ‘the Preserver’ because he maintains the order and harmony of the universe. Vishnu is worshipped in many forms and in several avatars (incarnations). His role is to return to the earth in troubled times and restore the balance of good and evil, as one of his incarnations. His wife is Laksmi

Shiva, the Destroyer - Shiva is known as ‘the Destroyer’ because he is tasked with destroying the universe to prepare for its renewal at the end of each cycle of time. According to Hindu belief, this destruction is not arbitrary, but constructive. Shiva is therefore seen as the source of both good and evil. His wife is Parvati

Vishnu Avatars:

Vishnu has 10 avatars, or incarnations. These are Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Balarama/Krishna, Buddha, Kalki. The most well known of these are Rama and Krishna.

Rama - one of the most beloved Hindu gods and is the hero of the Hindu epic called the Ramayana which tells the story that led to the Hindu festival of lights; Diwali. His wife is Sita.

Krishna -  known as the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita and for his promise to humanity that he will descend to earth whenever belief in God declines. He himself has 4 avatars to fulfill this purpose. His wife is Radharani, she is sometimes considered to be the feminine aspect of Godhead. Many traditions believe that Krishna is the source of the ten avatars, not Vishnu, in which case his brother Balaram is the eighth avatar.

Some other main gods/goddesses:

Ganesha or Ganapati - he is Shiva’s first son. Lord Ganesh has an elephant head. He is known as the Remover of Obstacles. Most Hindu households will have a picture or statue of Lord Ganesh.

Saraswati - she is the consort of Brahma the Creator and is worshipped as the goddess of learning, wisdom, speech, and music. Many Hindus will offer prayers to Saraswati for help in school and especially exams.

Lakshmi -  the goddess of good fortune, wealth, and well-being. As the consort of Vishnu, she plays a role in every incarnation of his.

Durga Devi - Durga is the main form of the goddess. She is a powerful, even frightening goddess who fights fiercely in order to restore moral order. Yet, she is full of compassion and love for her devotees. She is the embodiment of Shakti, the female principle of divine energy,

Indra - the King of Heaven and lord of the gods. He wields a thunderbolt and is a protector and provider of rain.

Surya - the sun god. He is a golden warrior arriving on a chariot pulled by seven white horses.

Hanuman - the monkey king. Hanuman is featured in the Ramayana. He earned his path to being worshipped by performing feats of strength, devotion, and courage while helping Rama.

The Main Hindu Festivals:

Sarasvati Puja - honours the Goddess Sarasvati. Takes place in January.

Maha Shivaratri - celebrates Lord Shiva. The festival usually takes place in February/March on the night and day before the new moon.

Holi -  Holi is known as is the Hindu festival of colours because on this day people paint each other with coloured dyes and poweders. It marks the beginning of spring. It is most commonly celebrated in Northern India and takes place around late February/ March. At night Hindus build bonfires to combat evil spirits. (read about the story of Holi here).  

Rama Navami - celebrates the appearance (birth) or Lord Rama. In March/April.

RathaYatra - a huge deity of Jagannatha (an incarnation of Lord Krishna) is placed on an enormous, decorated chariot and is pulled through the streets amidst a procession of worshippers. Takes place in June/July.

Raksha Bandhan - takes place in August. It is a celebration of the bond between siblings. Sisters will tie a Rakhi (silk thread) around the wrist of their brothers.

Krishna Janmashtami - a festival to celebrate the appearance (birth) of Lord Krishna. The festival is usually celebrated over two days because Krishna was born at midnight. Takes place around August/September.

Navaratri - primarily celebrated by Indians, this festival lasts nine days in September/October. It honours the goddess of valour, Durga.

Diwali -  or the festival of lights, celebrated by Hindus and Sikhs around the months of October and November.  It represents the triumph of good, light and knowledge over evil, darkness and ignorance as told in the Ramayana. It is also a time to honour the Goddess Lakshmi. Over the 5 days of Diwali people will light small candles (Diyas) in their homes, spend time with family and exchange gifts (usually of money, clothes and sweets). The day after Diwali is usually the Hindu new year.

Writing a Hindu Character:

This is a very general guide to the Hindu Gods, if you’re interested in knowing more I highly recommend you research them or you can ask me a specific question and I’ll do my best to answer it.

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the word but unlike other religions, it is still going strong thousands of years later. If you’re thinking of writing a Hindu character, don’t be put off by the religious aspect! You won’t be expected to know everything about the religion, unless your character is actually a Hindu priest or monk.

These are some basic religious and cultural traditions that you can incorporate into any Hindu character:

The deity they worship will often depend on the country or Indian state they grew up in/ that their family originate from.

A religious Hindu will visit the temple at least once a month as well as on New Years Day, on their birthdays and on the days of the main Hindu festivals; Diwali, Holi, Navratri, and the appearance day (birthday) of the main god they worship.

Almost all practising Hindu will not eat beef or any form of cows meat.

When praying to God, they may address their prayer to a specific god/goddess depending on what they are praying for, e.g. to Sarasvati for good grades or Ganesh for protection.

If they are at university/college their parents will have almost certainly given them at least one picture or statue of a god to take with them and put in their room.

On religious days, more religious Hindus may not eat meat or drink alcohol as a way to observe the festival.

If you do decide to write a Hindu character, please be respectful of the religion & the beliefs of those who follow it. People who fall under the umbrella of Hindus are diverse, welcoming and vibrant and we would love to see Hindu’s being represented more in the community!

 Buy Rakhi 2020 Raksha Bandhan is the festival feasting the lovely bond of siblings and is celebrated across the country. Raksha Bandhan is a day to pamper and feel embraced in the company of family and friends. As with top Indian festivals, food and gifts are a significant part of Raksha Bandhan. This year Raksha Bandhan is on August 3. To mark their bond, on the morning of Raksha Bandhan, the sister and brother will meet with their family. Often in front of a lamp, the sibling ties a rakhi (thread) on her brother’s right wrist. This signifies their affectionate bond and renews the pledge of the brother to shield his sister. Rakhis can also be used to rejoice other relationships between friends and neighbors. It is said that giving a Rakhi is a pleasant way for a girl to put someone from the opposite sex, which makes undesired passionate approaches into the friend-zone.  Buy Eid Dresses Known as the “Festival of the Sacrifice,” is the second of two Islamic festivals observed worldwide each year. It sanctifies the zeal of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of submission to God’s command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to consecrate instead. In remembrance of this intervention, an animal, usually a sheep, is sacrificed ritually and distributed into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives. Purpose of Eid ul Adha The purpose of Qurbani or Sacrifice in Eid al-Adha is not to shed blood just to please Allah. It is about sacrificing something believers love the most to show their commitment to Allah. It is also obligatory to share the meat of the sacrificed animal in three equivalent parts: family, relatives and friends, and poor people. The celebration has a clear message of devotion, kindness, and equality. It is said that the meat will not reach Allah, nor will the blood, but what reaches Him is the devotion of devotees.

Is an Indian Holiday the Cure for Sibling Rivalry?

I want my children to value Raksha Bandhan, the celebration of the bond between brothers and sisters, as much as I do.

Although you’d never know it if you’re counting on Bollywood to mirror real life, Indians don’t only celebrate weddings. Holi, the festival of colors, photographs well. My family has a sparkler party with the neighbors every Diwali, the festival of lights. Depending on our backgrounds, Indians might celebrate Eid, Christmas, Hanukkah, or any number of Sikh, Buddhist, Jain or Zoroastrian holidays. But my personal favorite holiday is Raksha Bandhan — a Hindu celebration of the special relationship between brothers and sisters.

Every August for 34 years, I’ve tied a Rakhi, a symbolic red thread, around my younger brother’s wrist, and he gives me money or a present. I’m not sure how other families do it — maybe they include sweets or prayers — but like many Hindu holidays, each region and even each home celebrates it differently. For us, it’s always been the thread and the gift, little bribes stipulated by my parents. It’s a small ritual meant to symbolize the bond of protection between brother and sister, and even though I’ve never seen a cinematic musical extravaganza built around it, nothing in our family of four is more sacred.

My brother and I have always been unreasonably close, especially for kids born almost six years apart. We’ve had exactly one fight. I was 13; he was 8. He wrestled the remote control out of my hand; I punched him in the leg. He screamed, developed a bruise and moved on, while I cried about it for two days. I can’t recall an argument since. As adults we live in the same city, have figured out boundaries and quality time and catch up over weekly family dinners and snatched phone calls. We know, it’s unusual. But now I look to my own small children, a boy and a girl almost five years apart, and am desperate to recreate the alchemy of it all.

Is our sibling bond just circumstance? Or did our parents, a pediatrician and educator, make a deliberate series of choices to force us together? Pediatricians and educators are rarely chill about child-rearing, and my experience tells me it was a combination of both.

The age difference certainly helped. By the time my brother was born, I was 5, a fully formed, fully bored person who wanted a baby in the house. But my campaign for a younger sibling had begun at 2 years old, when my nursery school peers in England started bringing baby sisters and brothers around. I was a bookish child whose only friends were my teachers, but a baby seemed like the best sort of companion — a pet, an acolyte and an outlet for my desire to be in charge of things, all in one. My mother claims not to remember the details of this, but my recollection is that the baby was my idea, that my parents had him for me, and that when he was born I gratefully took him off their hands, keeping him company, packing his lunch and making his afternoon snack, until I went to college.

My brother and I never fought for resources (except that TV remote) because we never needed the same thing. We both felt the full glow of our parents’ attention: me for five years solo, and my brother for much of his early life as I grew into my own. During our shared childhood, we lived in 20-odd places on three continents, often finding ourselves in new neighborhoods and schools, where we didn’t know any other kids. Raksha Bandhan was our yearly reminder that we’d never be alone, as long as we had each other.

I can’t speak for every Indian, but a survey of my extended family points to the potential of a larger cultural norm: that a sibling was a gift — a relationship to be celebrated rather than navigated. I asked my cousins’ WhatsApp group (you all do this, right?) whether they felt any sibling rivalry growing up. Of the 10 of us, now living in five different countries, I got the same response from eight: nope. “Only American kids fight,” joked one Toronto cousin.

The only two who reported any conflict growing up were also the only pair of the same gender (boys). They were born only two years apart, whereas the others had four to eight years between them. Maybe they fought because they didn’t celebrate Raksha Bandhan? After all, there doesn’t seem to be any sort of celebration for siblings of the same gender. My cousins all laughed at me. O.K., maybe the holiday was only big in my family.

After I had my son five years ago, I was immediately anxious about having another child. Apart from the whole gestation, childbirth and postpartum worries — what if they fought? If all American kids fight, and these kids were definitely going to be American, was my stressful fate sealed?

His dad and I were in no rush to decide, but history repeated itself when my son’s biological clock kicked in at 2. Just like the baby boom I lived through at Snowsfield Primary School, the minute baby brothers and sisters started showing up in his preschool’s Yellow Room, he wanted one, too. If he heard the word “baby,” he’d shout, even to strangers and empty rooms, “I’d like to have a baby!” For almost two years straight, he told his entire school, “We’re going to have a baby soon, because Mama and Dada are working on it.” We were not.

Eventually, though, his lobbying for a sibling somehow worked on us. By the time he was about 3½, we felt sort of ready to try it all again. Ten weeks into the new pregnancy, my husband and I found out it was a girl, and the next time our son brought up the Baby Issue, we were ready to lay some groundwork.

“We’ll see what we can do,” we said, as did my pregnant mother before me. “But if we decide to have a baby, do you think you want a brother or a sister?” We were prepared to nudge him in the right direction if necessary, but he was immediately set on having a sister. “Like Baby Margaret,” on his favorite cartoon, “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.” PHEW.

After I started showing, we told him we had, indeed, procured him a baby sister, and he couldn’t believe his good luck. “Like I’ve always wanted!” he said. After her birth, I was nervous about how this was actually going to go down, but other than some impatience at my inability to do everything at the same time, and hiccups resolved by the book “Siblings Without Rivalry,” he’s besotted with his sister, whom he refers to as “my baby,” “my little sissy” or “the little missy.”

“Can you believe this wondrous baby was in your belly?” he said last week, watching her pull herself up on a toybox. (Yes, he said “wondrous”; it’s possible we read too much.) She roared like a bodybuilder as he cheered her on. “She was just a tiny little thing, and now she’s cooler than I ever imagined!” It sounds like I’m making this up. I’m not — that’s how he talks. His dad and I know, it’s unusual. We also know that this could be a brief window of peace, and that the kids might spend the rest of their lives trying to punch each other in the face. Who knows? But Raksha Bandhan is coming, and I have solid plans to overdo it. Snacks, desserts, special toys, a new piggy bank.

After all, bribing us to like each other worked for my parents, and who am I to abandon our cultural heritage?
